San Diego, CA – Keurig, a leading manufacturer of single-serve coffee makers, has unveiled an ambitious vision for the future of coffee brewing with the introduction of K-Rounds, plastic-free coffee pods, and the Keurig Alta brewer.
K-Rounds: Plastic-Free, Sustainable Coffee Pods
K-Rounds are a revolutionary new type of coffee pod made from roasted coffee beans and protected by a plant-based coating. Unlike traditional plastic coffee pods, K-Rounds are fully compostable and can be disposed of with coffee grounds, minimizing their environmental impact.
The pods come in different sizes to accommodate a variety of hot and cold barista-style beverages, from espresso to traditional cups of coffee. Each pod is marked with a unique code that the Keurig Alta brewer reads to determine the optimal pressure and extraction profile for the specific coffee variety, ensuring the full extraction of flavor, aroma, and richness.
Keurig Alta Brewer: The Future of Coffee Brewing
The Keurig Alta brewer is the perfect companion for K-Rounds. It is designed to work seamlessly with the pods, delivering a consistent and barista-quality beverage every time. The brewer features an intuitive interface and a sleek, modern design that will complement any kitchen décor.
A Sustainable and Convenient Coffee Solution
The combination of K-Rounds and the Keurig Alta brewer offers consumers a more sustainable and convenient way to enjoy their favorite coffee beverages. The plastic-free pods and compostable design reduce environmental waste, while the brewer’s advanced technology ensures a perfect cup of coffee with every use.
Beta Testing and Availability
Keurig Dr Pepper, the parent company of Keurig, plans to conduct beta testing phases for K-Rounds and the Keurig Alta brewer in early fall 2024 to gather feedback from consumers. The products are expected to be available to the general public in the near future.
Keurig’s latest innovation represents a significant step forward in the evolution of single-serve coffee brewing, offering consumers a more sustainable, convenient, and flavorful coffee experience.
